Trejo was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

Trejo spent the last month in the minors and slashed .358/.382/.741 with eight home runs, 21 RBI and 14 runs over 20 games after being demoted to Triple-A in early August. However, he'll provide infield depth for the big-league club now that active rosters have expanded to 28 players.

Rodgers isn't in the lineup Thursday against Atlanta.

Rodgers is getting a rare day off after he went just 2-for-17 with a triple, a run and five strikeouts over the last four games. Ryan McMahon will take over at second base and lead off Thursday.

Los Angeles recalled Vargas from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

The Dodgers' top hitting prospect won't have a clear path to an everyday role as he rejoins the big club, but expect manager Dave Roberts to find room for Vargas in the lineup at least a couple times a week while veteran players like Justin Turner, Max Muncy and Chris Taylor receive occasional maintenance days over the final month of the season. Vargas logged eight plate appearances with the Dodgers earlier this summer, but he's otherwise spent the entire 2022 campaign at Oklahoma City, where he turned in a .915 OPS while chipping in 16 steals over 113 games.

India went 2-for-4 with an RBI and three walks in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Cardinals.

India notched an RBI single off Jose Quintana in the bottom of the third inning, giving the Reds a 1-0 lead. He also added another single and three walks later in the contest. India extended his hit streak to 14 consecutive games Wednesday, batting .333 with a five extra-base hits, five RBI and 11 runs over that stretch.

Guillorme (groin) could begin a rehab assignment as early as Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Guillorme carried a three-week return timetable after landing on the injured list with a left groin strain Aug. 15, and he seems to be on track in his recovery process since he's closing in on a rehab assignment. Assuming he joins a minor-league affiliate Sunday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him rejoin the Mets sometime the following weekend.

Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game at Arizona, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Stott started the past seven games and will head to the bench Wednesday after going 4-for-24 with two doubles, an RBI, two runs and a stolen base during that stretch. Edmundo Sosa will take over at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale.

Rojas isn't starting Wednesday against the Phillies.

Rojas went 1-for-11 with a run, two walks and four strikeouts over the last three games and will get a rare day off Wednesday. Emmanuel Rivera is starting at the hot corner and batting third.

Gorman isn't starting Wednesday against Cincinnati, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Gorman is out of the lineup for a third consecutive game. He's in the midst of a slump at the plate in which he's hit just .138 with a double, four runs, an RBI, three walks and 11 strikeouts over his last nine games. Albert Pujols will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

Chavis will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Chavis will pick up his fourth consecutive start Wednesday and looks poised to operate as the Pirates' primary first baseman for the time being following Bligh Madris' recent demotion to Triple-A Indianapolis. Over 23 games in August, Chavis is slashing .243/.254/.457 with four home runs and 10 RBI.

Chavis went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 4-2 win over the Brewers on Tuesday.

Chavis helped power the Pirates to a close victory, which saw him pick up his 14th home run of the campaign. Chavis is slugging .420 in 336 at-bats this season. The number is right in line with his career slugging percentage of .419. Despite having some pop in his bat, the 27-year-old first baseman is reaching base at a very poor .289 clip.
